  • I don’t hate that much but I don’t watch him because of the shady selling business hr often does and apparent sponsored content which is not always disclosed (been a while but his channel misrepresented graphics cards benchmarks for example).

    It’s like the British yellow press for me: his face alone is enough to discredit the quality of the source. Could it be good? Sure! Will I ever find out? Not anymore.



  • User perspective:

    If you want something big I’d pitch nixos. As in the core distribution. It’s a documentation nightmare and as a user I had to go over options search and then trying to figure out what they mean more often than I found a comprehensive documentation.

    That would be half writing and half coordinating writers though I suspect.

    Another great project with mixed quality documentation is openhab. It fits the bill of more backend heavy side and the devs are very open in my experience. I see it actually as superior in its core concepts to the way more popular home assistant in every aspect except documentation!

    That said: thanks for putting the effort in! ♥




  • According to their page it’s a pure searxng instance. I didn’t see anything on my own instance changing so there are three options I see:

    • The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).
    • client side changes: somehow your Firefox provides different information to alter the results
    • subjective change: it’s always a possibility that either what you searched or your perception was more fine tuned to Cyrillic.

    And then there’s the obligatory “none or all of the above”.

    Personally I’d guess it’s just a fluke. I gave it a few searches from Firefox mobile on “all languages” and had a mix of mainly English and a bit of German und French in there as results.

    Edit: if you’re comfortable with that feel free to share some search terms and we can compare results. Would be curious myself!








  • What precaution would you expect OP to would’ve done though? A fallback kernel would be my guess - that’s something many casual oriented distro do out of the box basically. . I read your post as “you’re right, don’t use arch” - something btw which I tend to agree with although I wouldn’t say that’s because of the precautions.

    I use arch because there’s no black box magic. For an end user who expects or wants that… Yes, arch might not be the right choice.




  • You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

    Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

    Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

    Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

    It all was fun! :)
